John and Pat are identical twins with identical DNA. John works in a movie theater, and Pat works as a lifeguard. They have very

different skin pigmentation. Which is the best explanation of the difference?

Pat has likely been in the sun longer than John, since she/he works outside. Since she is outside longer, her/his skin has learned to adapt to it by producing more melanin to protect her/him. John doesn't go outside as much so his skin doesn't need to adapt to sun rays.

The answer is:

A) Skin color, a polygenic trait, is also determined by environmental factors.


Hope it helps!

What is the primary function of carbohydrates attached to the exterior of cell membranes?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is : a. Identification of the cell

Explanation:

The cell membrane, also called plasma membrane, is a semi-permeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of the cell, that protects and separates the interior of the cells from the external environment.

The carbohydrate layer of the cell membrane is known as the glycocalyx. In eukaryotes, <u>the carbohydrates present on the surface of the cell membrane play a important role in the cell-cell recognition and share information.</u>

Which provides long-term energy storage?
Lemur [1.5K]

Glycogen provides long-term energy storage.

Glycogen is an example of a carbohydrate which is a polysaccharide that acts as a long-term energy storage compound in animals.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>
  • Living organisms require energy in order to undertake their daily activities such as growth and development, locomotion, gaseous exchange, etc. To do so they obtain nutrients for short-term and long-term energy source.
  • Carbohydrates are the major energy source for living organisms, however, living organisms may use other sources of energy such as proteins or fats when carbohydrates is out of stock or not available.  

Energy source in animals

  • Animals use simple carbohydrates such as glucose obtained from diet for short-term energy sources.
  • These simple carbohydrates may also be stored for future use in the form of glycogen, which makes glycogen a long-term energy source, to be used when need arises.
  • When glucose levels are low in the body hormones in the body trigger the breakdown of glycogen to glucose.
  • Other sources of energy such as proteins and fats are used when carbohydrates storage is depleted, for example during starvation.

Energy source in plants

  • In plants, on the other hand, simple carbohydrates are similarly used as a short term source of energy. Additionally, simple molecules such as glucose are stored in the form of starch for long-term source of energy for the plants.  

<em><u>Why other Choices are incorrect</u></em>:

<h3>Glucagon  </h3>
  • Glucagon is the hormone that increases the blood glucose level to avoid it from dropping below optimum level.
  • The hormone acts on the liver to stimulate the breakdown of glycogen to glucose, a process called glycogenolysis, and the glucose is released to the blood stream.

<h3>Glucose </h3>
  • Glucose is a simple carbohydrate classified as monosaccharides. It acts as the short term source of energy in both plants and animals.
  • It is readily broken down during the process of cellular respiration to yield energy in the form of ATP, which is then used to drive cellular processes.

<h3>Cellulose </h3>
  • Cellulose is an example of a complex carbohydrates known as polysaccharides.
  • It is found in plants cells lining the cell wall of all plant cells which is one of the key distinguishing feature between plant cells and animal cells.

Some migratory birds are heterothermic, meaning they sometimes maintain a constant body temperature and other times allow their
eduard

Answer:

B. Birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.

Explanation:

Most birds can drop the temperature a few centigrade degrees, while there are torpid birds capable of lowering much more. Birds can drop body temperature in response to environmental conditions. Bird species including, among others, swifts, hummingbirds and chickadees are capable of regulating body temperature during torpor state. There are different morphological and behavioral adaptative traits that enable birds to minimize the cost of thermoregulation. In the first place, epidermis surface allows heat loss to the environment, while arteries and veins in the legs help to retain heat in cold conditions.
